The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 517
Chapter 517: Chapter 512: Caught Cheating_1
Unfortunately, Gillian Thompson’s affection was wasted.
Molly Walker chuckled softly, took out her cell phone swiftly, and took a photo of this scene, which she stored.
“Send it to Gillian Thompson?” Michael Gallagher asked calmly, his gaze briefly sweeping over Ethan Hopkins.
The Hopkins family has only this one heir. When Ethan started courting Gillian, it seemed quite sudden, but now it seems there were signs all along.
“I won’t send it,” Molly curved her lips, “Believe it or not, if I did, she would definitely accuse me of photoshopping and trying to sow discord between her and her fiancé.”
Molly knew. This time, Gillian was really in love. She was head over heels for Ethan Hopkins.
She could never accept Ethan not loving her.
“Is the Gallagher Group interested in the A-level project from the Sunnydale government?” Molly asked.
Michael’s eyebrows raised slightly, “How so, do you have a way?”
“Yes, if the Gallagher Group needs it, I can help you win it.”
Originally, she was not planning to meddle in Damian’s business of aiding Ethan, after all, this was what Nicholas traded his kidney for.
If she got involved, it would be somewhat unscrupulous.
But now the situation was different.
If the Hopkins family rose to prominence, that would truly be dishonorable.
“As I recall, your brother also wants this project.” Michael laughed, “Aren’t you afraid Damian will call you a traitor?”
“So, my helping you has a precondition.” Molly smiled radiantly, “The Gallagher Group must cooperate with the Thompson Group.”
She had already researched the project. This project was more tricky and significant than the one the Thompson family undertook previously.
She wouldn’t let any project that could solidify her brother’s position slip through her hands.
But if it’s directly taken over by Damian, she worries that Gillian might retaliate desperately and further harm the Thompson family’s relationships.
Only if it appears on the surface that the project was snatched away by the Gallagher Group, it wouldn’t be criticized.
“Okay, I agree with you… you know, no matter what you ask for, I will not refuse.” The gentleness in Michael’s eyes was enough to make Molly’s heart skip a beat.
Since their reconciliation, he has been practically at her beck and call.
“This matter also benefits the Gallagher Group.” Molly pouted her lips, “If it wasn’t for the Gallagher Group’s help, I wouldn’t even consider sharing.”
What does he mean by ‘won’t refuse’? It’s clear that she’s offering him a benefit, isn’t it?
“Okay, okay, thank you, My Miss, thank you for offering me this benefit.” Michael gently took over the conversation with exceptionally soft eyes focused on Molly.
As Ethan was walking forward with a girl in his arms, his steps halted abruptly when he spotted a certain pair of people.
Weren’t those Michael Gallagher and Ivy Thompson sitting face to face?!
This coffee shop was located outside the villa area, in the suburbs, and because it’s not a popular internet celebrity shop, it was not crowded.
It was for this reason he chose this location.
How did he manage to run into them here?!
“What’s wrong, Ethan…”
“Let’s go somewhere else…” Ethan’s heart was pounding.
He couldn’t dare to imagine what Michael and Molly would do if they saw him with another girl.
He can’t allow his meticulously crafted plans to fall apart midway.
At least they need to wait until Damian helps him secure the project, otherwise all his efforts will have been in vain!
“Why do we need to change places?” The girl didn’t understand. However, seeing the anxious and icy expression on Ethan’s face, her heart pounded fiercely.
She followed Ethan’s gaze, only to see a male and a female sitting together.
Ethan quickly grabbed her hand and headed out.
“Let’s talk outside.”
He lowered his voice, trying his best to diminish their presence.
Hopefully, those two haven’t seen him, otherwise his efforts would all be wasted.
The petite and cute girl, although dissatisfied with Ethan’s recent behavior, was generally sensible. She knew that Ethan must be upset for some reason, so she dutifully closed her mouth and kept the big picture in mind.
When they got outside, the girl was still sulking.
“Just now…”
“Michael Gallagher and Ivy Thompson were sitting there.” Ethan was so nervous his face turned pale. He gasped, “I don’t know if they saw me.”
“So… what do we do?” Hearing that Ivy Thompson was there, the girl’s face suddenly became pale. “The plans that you have been scheming for so long could be exposed if they find out…”
She had been patient for so long, even though it was irritating, she never thought about ruining Ethan’s plans.
She and Ethan have loved each other for many years, but the Hopkins family has always opposed her because of her background.
In order to gain more power, Ethan had no choice but to find a roundabout way to save their relationship.
Once they secure the project, then everything Ethan wishes to do can be done with a word.
Gillian Thompson is an easy target because she is blindly in love.
But if this issue is known to Ivy Thompson beforehand…
“Don’t worry, Ivy and Gillian don’t get along. Even if Ivy says something, Gillian won’t believe her.” Very quickly, Ethan found the key point.
He was previously upset about Gillian and Ivy’s relationship, but now it seems, it may not be a bad thing.
“But Ivy Thompson is said to be very capable, even the successor of that master Stephen Crane, if she really saw us…” The petite girl was full of worry.
She’s not afraid of anything as she has nothing to lose. She comes from a humble background, but she’s terrified of going back to their previous situation with Ethan.
She was tired of being discouraged by Ethan’s mom, and she dreamt of marrying Ethan.
“Don’t worry, even if she saw, I still have a way to make Gillian not believe,” Ethan laughed grimly.
Now that he was ready, no one could stop him, otherwise, don’t blame him for being ruthless.
After finishing her chat with Michael Gallagher, Molly sent a message to Nicholas.
She knew that if she sent the photo to Gillian, she wouldn’t believe it.
But what if she sent it to Nicholas?
Even if it’s not particularly effective, it’s also good to give a warning.
If Nicholas also doesn’t believe it, then at least she would’ve done her part to provide a warning.
As for this project, she would let Ethan get it over her dead body.
She can assure that if the Hopkins family rises, the first to be eaten would be the Thompson Group.
Ethan Hopkins, this man, is ambitious, patient, and once he sees an opportunity, he will be crazy bloodthirsty.
Before that happens, she needs to prepare Nicholas beforehand.
It’s one thing for him to get in trouble because of Gillian, but he absolutely cannot take the entire Thompson family down with Gillian.
In a Sunnydale bar, Nicholas just read the message from Molly on his phone. His face grew cold as he put the phone down and took a sip from his glass.
“Nicholas bro, you really plan to donate your kidney to your dad? Being so young and without a kidney, and you haven’t got married, so later will you…”
“Big head ghost will you!” Another man interrupted, “Nicholas bro is healthy, what’s the big deal to give one kidney? Even if it were two kidneys it wouldn’t matter.”
“Two kidneys, that would mean he’s dead…” the man in black murmured.
…
Nicholas looked at the message Molly sent on his phone once more, thought about it, and stood up.
Ever since Molly told him those words when they last met, he actually hoped she wouldn’t find him.
She won’t support him, so if she was looking for him, it definitely wouldn’t be good.
“What’s wrong, Nicholas bro?”
Finally, someone noticed that something was off with him.
